ITEM 2.  ACQISITION OF ASSETS 

On June 1, 1997, JP Realty, Inc. (the "Company") acquired the
remaining 70% interest in Silver Lake Mall, Ltd., a limited
partnership owning Silver Lake Mall, from Roebbelen Engineering,
Inc. ("Roebbelen").  Silver Lake Mall, an enclosed regional mall
located in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, contains 331,254 square feet of
total gross leaseable area ("Total GLA"), of which 6,936 square
feet is tenant owned.  Prior to the acquisition, the Company had
been the property manager for Silver Lake Mall for a period of 17
months.  The major anchor department stores at Silver Lake Mall are
JC Penney, Sears, The Emporium and Lamonts.  At the time of its
acquisition, Silver Lake Mall was 99.5% occupied based on Total GLA
and had 98.4% of its mall shops occupied.  The consideration paid
by the Company for the interest in Silver Lake Mall, Ltd. consisted
of 72,000 units of limited partner interest in Price Development
Company, Limited Partnership, the Company's operating partnership,
which at the time of acquisition had a value of $1,863,000.  In
connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed debt of Silver
Lake Mall, Ltd. totaling $24,755,000.  The Company utilized
$9,000,000 of its $50 million secured revolving credit facility
with Bank One, Arizona, NA and $2,936,000 of cash to pay down
$11,936,000 of the assumed debt.  The Company purchased the mall
pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, the terms of which were
determined through arms-length negotiations between the parties. 
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Roebbelen will remain as a
guarantor on $4,300,000 of the debt assumed by the Company.

On June 30, 1997, the Company acquired Visalia Mall, an enclosed
regional mall containing 439,527 square feet of Total GLA located
in Visalia, California.  The major anchor department stores at
Visalia Mall are JC Penney and Gottschalks.  At the time of its
acquisition, Visalia Mall was 95.3% occupied based on Total GLA and
had 88.2% of its mall shops occupied.  The purchase price paid for
Visalia Mall was $38,000,000, of which $37,000,000 was paid out of
the Company's credit facilities with Bank One, Arizona, NA and
Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital, Inc., $593,000 was paid in cash and
$407,000 was paid in the form of property in a 1031 tax free
exchange.  The Company purchased the mall from Connecticut General
Life Insurance Company, on behalf of its Closed-End Real Estate
Fund II, pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the terms
of which were determined through arms-length negotiations between
the parties.

The factors considered by the Company in determining the prices to
be paid for the two malls included their historical and/or expected
cash flow, nature of the tenants and terms of leases in place,
occupancy rates, opportunities for alternative and new tenancies,
current operating costs and taxes on the malls and anticipated
changes therein under Company ownership, the outparcels and
expansion areas available, the physical condition and locations of
the malls, the anticipated effect on the Company's financial
results and other factors.  The Company took into consideration
capitalization rates at which it believes other shopping centers
have recently sold, and determined the price it was willing to pay
primarily on the factors discussed above relating to the malls and
their fit with the Company's operations.  

Silver Lake Mall and Visalia Mall, which are each the dominant
enclosed regional mall in their respective market areas, contain an
aggregate of 770,781 square feet of Total GLA, of which 763,845
square feet is Company owned.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
JP Realty, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and certain
expenses of Silver Lake Mall and Visalia Mall for the year ended
December 31, 1996.  These historical statements are the
responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these historical statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
historical statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the historical statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the historical statements.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying historical statements were prepared on the basis
described in Note 2, for the purpose of complying with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
inclusion in the current report on Form 8-K of JP Realty, Inc.) and
are not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and
expenses of Silver Lake Mall and Visalia Mall.

In our opinion, the historical statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses
of Silver Lake Mall and Visalia Mall, on the basis described in
Note 2, for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

(UNAUDITED)

On January 28, 1997, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of common
stock in an underwritten public offering at an offering price of
$27.125 per share.  Net proceeds to the Company totaled $38,600,000
and were used to purchase additional interests in PDC.  PDC used
the proceeds to reduce borrowings outstanding under the $50,000,000
credit facility.  The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of
operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 and for
the year ended December 31, 1996 is presented as if the public
offering of common stock and the acquisition of the Properties
purchased on June 1, 1997 and June 30, 1997 had occurred on January
1, 1997 and January 1, 1996, respectively.  

Pro forma information is based upon the historical consolidated
results of operations of the Company for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996,
giving effect to the transactions described above.  The pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations should be read in
conjunction with the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
of the Company presented herein and the historical financial
statements and notes thereto of the Company included in the JP
Realty, Inc. Forms 10-K and 10-Q for the year ended December 31,
1996 and the three month period ended March 31, 1997.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results
of operations of the Company would have been assuming the
transactions had been completed as set forth above, nor does it
purport to represent the Company's results of operations for future
periods.
